Tibetan habitation today

Once along the way back to Lhasa we were invited by a Tibetan family for a chat and having butter tea together.
The inside decoration has an own style but no TV is missing.
In the middle of the room an oven heats the apartment filled with dried Yak dung and at the wall many photos of their family, a photo of an Buddhist dignitary but no picture of the present Dalai Lama (forbidden).
But then we wondered about seeing on the wall: Hero pictures of the "Gang of Four"!?
Jiang Qing, Mao's widow, last wife and major Communist Party of China power figure,
Zhang Chunqiao, a prominent Chinese political theorist, writer, and politician,
Yao Wenyuan, a Chinese literary critic, a politician,
and Wang Hongwen, the youngest member of the Gang of Four.
(All four already died:
Jiang Qing committed suicide in 1991, Wang Hongwen died in 1992, Zhang Chunqiao and Yao Wenyuan died in 2005.)
